Sex-based differences in biomechanical function for chronic low back pain and how it relates to pain experience
Overall, males with LBP exhibited worse movement quality, driven by trunk motion, but higher PPTs. Possible explanations include reduced interoceptive awareness or increased kinesiophobia in males, which may influence movement patterns. This research is an initial step in uncovering the complex relationship between patient-specific factors influencing LBP disability, laying the groundwork for further exploration, and paving the way for improving outcomes with patient-specific treatments.
